Patient's question:
I have a 9-year smoking history. Every night, I cough very badly and have difficulty breathing. When I breathe, there is a wheezing sound in my throat, and I feel like I can't get enough air, suffocating and struggling to catch my breath. My elderly relatives at home said this might be asthma, and I need to go to the hospital for a check-up.Doctor's answer:
Hello, you should belong to bronchial asthma, which is a chronic respiratory disease. The main symptoms of patients are recurrent wheezing and coughing, often occurring in spring and autumn or after upper respiratory tract infections. The onset of asthma is closely related to an allergic constitution. Although it cannot be completely cured at present, as long as patients master the correct prevention and treatment methods for asthma, asthma can be achieved "complete control."
